Mail Notification v6

by Mottie

Description

This mod opens a popup to notify you if you have a new mail message. It was written for users who wish to hide their top menu bar (state bar/log in bar). Or if you just want a bigger message telling you that you have mail. I've set it up to open either a growl window (timed popup) or a facebox (popup you have to close).

For more information on the custom variables, please see this post.
To style the growl window (pictured above), use the "Growl Window Styling" Mod or refer to this post.
To style the Facebox popup window, please refer to this post.

I made a few slight changes from the previous version. But this version puts the very first feed into the right column (made for your own site news feed) and all remaining feeds go into the left column.

I made a table with the class "feedBox" that has two columns.

The very first feed is added to the Recent Post side of the table (right)

All additional feeds are placed in the RSS News Feed Column (left)

You can make separate divs or switch the classes in the table however you want. Just make sure the ID is unique (only one per page)

Made the tooltip border larger since I was seeing the background repeat on some posts

1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 all work fine. Tried 1.41 several times, both with my own feeds and the ones in the code (just copied and pasted the whole thing) and nothing appears. The box is there but no feeds at all.

The preview boxes get the content from whatever feed you added, so I'm not sure what you mean.... are you taking about setting the "previewMode" variable to true? That feature doesn't work well if you have a lot of HTML because it counts characters and doesn't look for breaks in the coding.

I included the date, time and author inside the preview, but I can remove it from there if you want.

If I'm totally off on your question, could you show me a screenshot or share a link to your site please.

I think you're on the right track. I'll message you a link to my guildsite and you can check it out for yourself. I'd put the link in this post, but its my test site, and I'm a little self-conscious of my work before its completion =)

It looks like all you're missing is this tooltip version... this new tooltip version works because it looks for tooltips that are added after the page load (the feeds are added afterwards). Here is the code, I matched the background color with your site.
